Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 629 Li Xin: I'm the one who is being humble

Xianyang, Zhangtai.

The visitor greeted him in front with a respectful look.

Li Xin walked vigorously and carelessly in the palace.

Twelve tall bronze figures shone in the sun, and the candlesticks hanging on them were burning candles.The palaces on all sides seem to have been washed by water, and they are unusually neat under the blue sky, which makes people feel comfortable.

Coming to the Twelve Golden Man, Li Xin couldn't help but think of the past.Ever since the Twelve Golden Man was cast, the late emperor had drifted away from him, and summoned him before his death. His intention was self-evident.

After entering Zhangtai, Li Xin saw from afar that there were other ministers accompanying him.The Meng brothers, Zhang Cang, and Zhang Han were all sitting in the main hall, invisibly forming a deterrent to Li Xin.

Li Xin felt a little regretful at this time. He thought that the emperor summoned him alone, but he did not expect that there were two ministers and two ministers.They won't have to wait long.

"General Li Xin pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Yongwu Hou is in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Come on, give me a seat."

Li Xin bowed and then sat cross-legged on the seat.

"This time, we lured the enemy deeper, drove back the Xiongnu thousands of miles, and frightened the Donghu barbarians, which is indispensable."

"Your Majesty is flattering. I am just following orders."

"There is no need to refuse. You are the first to do this. I summoned you alone today just to ask you what reward you want."

"Your Majesty, I will do my duty faithfully and fulfill my duties without asking for rewards."

"These days, you are not in Xianyang City, but you must have heard about the bloody turmoil in Xianyang City. Your victory has played a role in appeasing people's hearts. Moreover, it promotes the country's prestige and benefits future generations. You have achieved If you are not willing to accept credit for such a great contribution, who will dare to serve me in the future?"

Whether to stay or go in Xianyang City, the rise and fall of the Li family, all depends on what Li Xin will say today.

"Your Majesty, I really have no other desires. I just want to stay with Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty. I heard that Ren Xiao and Tu Wei took advantage of His Majesty's inspection of six counties in Shandong and launched a surprise attack. Then they fled to the southern Xinjiang area and have been entrenched to this day. .The last general asked for orders to go to war, capture the rebel general, and take back the 20 elite troops."

Zhang Han couldn't sit still after hearing this.

He had no meritorious service and could not suppress those generals. If he gave this opportunity to lead troops to fight to Li Xin, it would be even harder for him to convince the generals in the future.

At this time, Zhang Han had not yet seen Zhang Xi.Even some of the soldiers and generals in Xianyang City could not be convinced, let alone Li Xin.

The guard captain is in charge of the world's military and political affairs and holds the tiger talisman. If he cannot convince the people, the generals in the world will support their own troops.

Especially Zhao Tuo and Chi Wu from the land of Jingchu, Yang Mucong and Weitong from the six counties of Shandong, and the Li family and his son from Bashu.

When Zhang Han was extremely anxious, Fusu said:

"There is no rush to capture the traitorous generals now. You will stay in Xianyang City during these days. I heard that the people in the city welcomed you with great enthusiasm today, which shows that Marquis Yongwu is very popular among the people."

"Your Majesty, the merits of the last general are all shot by arrows. The last general always obeys orders. The people of Xianyang love the last general. I think it is for this reason."

"Yongwuhou, like Dazhu Kingdom, is the military soul of our Qin Kingdom."

In the past, because Li Xin was young and spoke arrogantly, and because he did not have the support of a big family, he did not have any sense of superiority even if he was among many princes.

The only sense of superiority comes from the emperor and his extraordinary achievements.

Li Xin always had some respect for Meng Tian.Meng Tian's conduct is obvious to all the ministers.

Li Xin said from the bottom of his heart:

"The final general will not dare to compare with Dazhu Kingdom."

Meng Tian couldn't stand hearing these words.

"Okay, Marquis Yongwu, don't be humble anymore. You must not refuse the credit today. You can defeat the Xiongnu with soldiers and horses that you have trained for just more than a year. With such outstanding military talents, I, Meng Tian, ​​am extremely proud of you." Nothing can be done."

Li Xin was naturally excited when someone he always respected suddenly said such words.

"What a ridiculous compliment from Dazhu Kingdom! I, Li Xin, deserve it."

Meng Yi stroked his beard, his face already turning red from laughter.

"Okay, don't be humble anymore. The disparity in strength between the enemy and us this time is too great. Your Majesty only asked you to guard Jiuyuan and prevent the Huns from going south. But you took the Huns by surprise and almost wiped out all the tribes of the Huns. Let us all I am relieved, there is no such good news in the DPRK."

This is true. Ever since Ying Zheng started asking for the elixir, there really was no news in Xianyang City that would make everyone in the court happy.

The originally united situation gradually disappeared. Unexpectedly, Li Xin's defeat of the Xiongnu triggered the support and pride of the empire among the officials in the court.

The Meng brothers took turns praising Li Xin, and Zhang Cang couldn't help but say:
"Because Marquis Yongwu defeated the Xiongnu, the hearts of the people in the court were excited. This is a rare situation since His Majesty took power."

Little did Li Xin know that he just defeated the Huns, but it would also have an impact on the situation in the DPRK. It seems that he was still modest in the past and underestimated himself too much.

He had no idea in the past that he was such an important existence to Qin, the DPRK, and His Majesty.

Everyone in the hall was glowing, even the second generation. He himself did not expect that the victory that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had worked hard for so many years would be achieved by Li Xin in less than two years.

Zhang Han thought about it for a while and felt that at this time it was better to honestly ask Marquis Yongwu for advice. When it came to praising Li Xin, he did not have the confidence to praise Li Xin. On the contrary, it would make Li Xin feel that Zhang Han, the dignified captain of the army guard, was complimenting him. he.

"Marquis Yongwu, Zhang Han is not talented, but I would like to ask for advice in front of His Majesty and everyone, how Marquis Yongwu turned the situation around and defeated the Xiongnu when he was at a disadvantage."

Today, this time, the civil servants are on one side and the generals are on the other side.

Li Xin was at the head of the generals, and Zhang Han was at the back.

Li Xin doesn't think there is a problem with this arrangement, after all, his credit lies there.

Li Xin looked back at Zhang Han, and then at the expression on the second son's face. He thought, after all, this guard captain was appointed by your majesty. If you don't give him face, then you don't give your majesty face.

After thinking for a while, Li Xin bowed:

"Since the captain has asked for advice, Li Xin naturally wants to know everything and tell him everything. It's just that your majesty is always busy with state affairs, and the general is afraid of delay..."

"It doesn't matter, I only have one thing to do today, which is to receive you well."

Li Xin was invisibly encouraged after hearing the second son's words.

Li Xin clasped his fists at the Second Emperor and nodded at Zhang Han. There was no mistake in etiquette.

"The key to using troops is surprise. If the opponent is prepared, no matter how you attack, you will suffer heavy losses."

"No matter whether there are more soldiers or fewer soldiers, we must pay attention to surprise. And when it comes to the number of soldiers and horses, we must not focus on too many soldiers. More soldiers are not necessarily a good thing."
